Dear friend, we still have £312 left to cover the boys’ school fees.

Your support is what keeps our little family steady in these difficult days.😓

If you’re able to help us complete the remaining amount, we would be DEEPLY GRATEFUL. ❤️

Amir and Osama have started their new school year after a long break due to the genocide. 💔

We need £375 for month's school payment to make sure they can continue their education without worry.🙏

Please,
Your support means stability and learning for them!

Amani has been trying to support her five boys all by herself since her husband was killed but she needs help and a friend helped her make this fundraiser
Amani has many unique photos, is friends with Eman whom I’ve shared before and sent me a video with Eman to verify her identity (she unfortunately lost her identification papers when her house was bombed)

Amani has a new fundraiser because she is really struggling to raise her boys on her own
Support Amani and her 5 young sons

There are gonna be disabled folks who can't contribute anything to The Cause. They have no money, no energy, no physical ability, no time. They will need to receive and will never be able to give back. You gotta save them, too. Especially them.
Please don't leave disabled people behind in your revolution. Please do not see us as sacrifices for the greater good, or dead weight. Please see our lives as worth saving, too.

With the EHRC acting like it is. It shows that it is really important to keep trying to get in contact with your MP.

We have seen that this is working.
🚨This is an emergency🚨

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

Hello, this is your annual reminder that not only does getting a flu and Covid shot protect you, but it helps protect immunocompromised people like me. 🙂

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Raghad. Raghad is 22 years old and was finishing her studies to be a nurse. She wanted to go into nursing because her mother had a stroke that made her lose movement in her arms and legs. They are now displaced with her 10 siblings.

People gave a record amount of money to multiple organizations for the people of Gaza and all this money just sat there for the past 2 years because Israel blocked it. I hope this money gets distributed quickly now so that the people of Gaza don't have to beg anymore

This is an absolute disaster for a lot of small businesses and sole traders.
About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

I'm getting a lot of visibility but very few to no sales.

Again, I don't profit off the tariffs. It goes to the US government.
It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale.

I sell pins, compression gloves, artist gloves, binders, hip braces, wrist braces, compression socks, walking sticks, elbow braces, bags, back braces & more!

I have no idea what Dr. Divya used to talk about on social media before the genocide...because I didn't know her before and she has since dedicated her account 100% to fundraising for Gaza. I greatly respect her for that and we should all boost her efforts
Please share, we’re matching 3,000 (!!) 💚 The situation is more desperate, so we bring our hope more boldly, right?

In two weeks, you’ve helped six families evacuate Gaza City—to survive. The final two are besieged under tank fire and worse.

Help them escape south. 239/7000 by Tuesday night.
